Healthy Fit Point

Add 2 tbsp. of this coconut oil mixture to your morning coffee to burn a ton of calories

There are some people that seem to forget that adding fat to their diet is not going to increase their weight.

Coconut oil for example, helps our body to burn more calories and boosts the metabolism. It is not like the other oils, and it contains medium chain fatty acids. Most of the other oils contain long chain fatty acids. The former are metabolized in a different way than the latter, which leads to a significant metabolism boost.

According to a study, two tablespoons of these medium chain fatty acids, can increase the energy expenditure of the body by 5%.

That aside, the addition of coconut oil to your cup of coffee, also enhances the taste and it makes your coffee creamy and rich. There are number of reasons why you should add this oil to your coffee:

Unlike cream or milk, coconut oil will not cool down your hot coffee.

It will not dilute the flavor.

You will feel energized and alert for longer periods of time.

While dairy creamers expire quickly, this one is always on-hand.

It is important to note that although fat is good for your body, it needs to only be consumed in moderate amounts.
